In the United States, goutweed occurs from Maine south to South Carolina and west to Minnesota and Missouri. It also occurs in the Pacific Northwest from Montana to Washington and Oregon. It occurs in all the Canadian provinces excepting Newfoundland and Labrador, and Alberta. Plants Database provides a distributional map of goutweed. Globally, goutweed occurs primarily in the northern hemisphere, particularly in Europe, Asia Minor ([28,36,58,92], reviews by [14,27]), and Russia (review by [27,63]). Goutweed's native distribution is unclear. It may have been introduced in England (review by [2]) and is considered a "weed" in the former Soviet Union, Germany, Finland (Holm 1979 cited in [14]), and Poland [44].

  • Taxonomy, Origin and Importance of the Apiaceae Family
    1 TAXONOMY, ORIGIN AND IMPORTANCE OF THE APIACEAE FAMILY JEAN-PIERRE REDURON* Mulhouse, France The Apiaceae (or Umbelliferae) is a plant family comprising at the present time 466 genera and about 3800 species (Plunkett et al., 2018). It is distributed nearly worldwide, but is most diverse in temperate climatic areas, such as Eurasia and North America. It is quite rare in tropical humid regions where it is limited to high mountains. Mediterranean and arid climatic conditions favour high species diversification. The Apiaceae are present in nearly all types of habi- tats, from sea-level to alpine zones: aquatic biotopes, grasslands, grazed pas- tures, forests including their clearings and margins, cliffs, screes, rocky hills, open sandy and gravelly soils, steppes, cultivated fields, fallows, road sides and waste grounds. The largest number of genera, 289, and the largest generic endemism, 177, is found in Asia. There are 126 genera in Europe, but only 17 are en- demic. Africa has about the same total with 121 genera, where North Africa encompasses the largest occurrence of 82 genera, 13 of which are endemic. North and Central America have a fairly high level of diversity with 80 genera and 44 endemics, where South America accommodates less generic diversity with 35 genera, 15 of which are endemic. Oceania is home to 27 genera and 18 endemics (Plunkett et al., 2018). The Apiaceae family appears to have originated in Australasia (region including Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, New Guinea, New Caledonia and several island groups), with this origin dated to the Late Cretaceous/ early Eocene, c.87 Ma (Nicolas and Plunkett, 2014).

Urban Jacinda T. James and Ian A. Dubery * Department of Biochemistry, University of Johannesburg, Auckland Park, South Africa E-Mail: [email protected] (J.T.J.) * Author to whom correspondence should be addressed; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel./Fax: +27-11-559-2401. Received: 30 June 2009; in revised form: 15 September 2009 / Accepted: 17 September 2009 / Published: 9 October 2009 Abstract: Centella asiatica accumulates large quantities of pentacyclic triterpenoid saponins, collectively known as centelloids. These terpenoids include asiaticoside, centelloside, madecassoside, brahmoside, brahminoside, thankuniside, sceffoleoside, centellose, asiatic-, brahmic-, centellic- and madecassic acids. The triterpene saponins are common secondary plant metabolites and are synthesized via the isoprenoid pathway to produce a hydrophobic triterpenoid structure (aglycone) containing a hydrophilic sugar chain (glycone). The biological activity of saponins has been attributed to these characteristics. In planta, the Centella triterpenoids can be regarded as phytoanticipins due to their antimicrobial activities and protective role against attempted pathogen infections. Preparations of C. asiatica are used in traditional and alternative medicine due to the wide spectrum of pharmacological activities associated with these secondary metabolites. Here, the biosynthesis of the centelloid triterpenoids is reviewed; the range of metabolites found in C. asiatica, together with their known biological activities and the chemotype variation in the production of these metabolites due to growth conditions are summarized. These plant-derived pharmacologically active compounds have complex structures, making chemical synthesis an economically uncompetitive option.

Kays1 Addtional index words. specialty vegetables, culture, photochemistry, medicinal herb Summary. Centella asiatica, the Asiatic pennywort, is an herbaceous perennial indigenous to the southeast- ern United States. In some Asian countries, it is valued as an important vegetable and is widely cultivated. In addition, it is considered an important medicinal herb due primarily to the pentacyclic phytochemical, asiaticoside, which effectively treats a variety of skin diseases. Information on the botany, photochemistry, medicinal, nutritional value, and cultivation of the crop is reviewed. This species may warrant preliminary field and consumer acceptance tests as a speciality vegetable in the United States. egetables make up a ma- jor portion of the diet of V humans. An increased aware- ness of the health advantages of diets high in vegetables has been a signifi- cant stimulant in increasing consump- tion. In addition, there has been a significant increase in the number of vegetable crops available to consumers in the United States over the past 15 years. Increasing ethnic diversity within many areas of the United States has stimulated the introduction of new crops. For example, tindora [Coccinia grandis (L.)

  • Fennel Seed in the United States Is Imported from Egypt
    Fennel QUICK FACTS Foeniculum vulgare subsp. vulgare (fennel, sweet fennel, wild fennel) Foeniculum vulgare subsp. vulgare 'Rubrum' (bronze fennel) Foeniculum vulgare subsp. vulgare var. azoricum (Florence fennel, bulb fennel, finocchio, anise) Foeniculum vulgare subsp. vulgare var. dulce (sweet fennel, Roman fennel) Foeniculum vulgare subsp. piperitum (wild pepper fennel) Fennel is a member of the Apiaceae (carrot or parsley family) and is related to cumin, dill, caraway and anise, all of which bear aromatic fruits that are commonly called seeds. It is native to southern Europe but is now naturalized in northern Europe, Australia and North America and is cultivated around the world. Most commercial fennel seed in the United States is imported from Egypt. Description A biennial or perennial, fennel sends up four or five smooth stalks, hollow but containing a white pith, and bearing feathery, finely divided linear foliage on clasping leafstalks; blooming in large, flat umbels of golden yellow flowers in late summer, which ripen to gray-brown seed. Plants can reach just under 6 feet in height, although F. vulgare subsp. vulgare var. azoricum, the vegetable fennel with the bulbous stalk base, is shorter, growing to only 2 feet. Culture Although fennel is a perennial or biennial to Zone 7, it may grow as an annual as far north as Zone 4, and F. vulgare subsp. vulgare var. azoricum is almost always grown as an annual. Sow fennel seed directly into the ground in spring when the ground is warm, and thin plants to 12-18 inches. Plants can also be propagated by division in spring. Fennel prefers moist but well-drained soil with a pH between 4.8 and 8.2.

  • Potential Health Dangers of New Invasive Species Similar to Indigenous Plants That Are Used As Food Or Medicine--An Example from Bangladesh
    World Nutrition 2018;9(3):163-175 Potential health dangers of new invasive species similar to indigenous plants that are used as food or medicine--an example from Bangladesh By Salma Hossain, Department of Environmental Science, Gono Bishwabidyalay, Savar, Dhaka 1344, Bangladesh [[email protected]] , Rozina Parul, Department of Pharmacy, Gono Bishwabidyalay, Savar, Dhaka 1344, Bangladesh [[email protected]] M.I. Zuberi, Department of Environmental Science, Gono Bishwabidyalay, Savar, Dhaka 1344, Bangladesh [[email protected]] 163 World Nutrition 2018;9(3):163-175 Abstract About 20,000 herbal products are currently available on the global market, and medicinal plants’ annual trade turnover is approximately US $ 4 billion in the United States alone. As climate change starts increasingly interfering with monoculture grown crops--and this will likely be more serious more quickly in tropical areas--wild foods may become increasingly lifesaving. But at the same time, invasive plants will likely also spread more rapidly. Centella asiatica (L.) Urb, (Indian Pennywort) has been widely used from the wild (also cultivated and marketed in Bangladesh, China, Southeast Asia, India, Sri Lanka), the leaves eaten as a component of mixed green vegetable, pot herb and is also an important item in the traditional medicine systems. In Bangladesh it is widely used as a health food and in the folk and traditional system of medicine for improving memory and for the treatment of a variety of ailments. Market surveys have detected two different species, C, erecta and C. verticillata, wrongly identified as the exotic species, Indian Pennywort because of their morphological similarity.
